Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021001424A1] The invention relates to a method for the purification of aniline, comprising the following steps: a) providing a raw aniline fraction; b) extracting the raw aniline fraction with an aqueous extractant containing, in relation to the total mass of the aqueous extractant, an alkali metal hydroxide in a concentration range from 0.009 to 2.05 mass % and an alkali metal salt that is different from an alkali metal hydroxide in a concentration range from 2.40 to 25.0 mass %, wherein an organic aniline phase and an aqueous amino phenolate phase are obtained after a phase separation; c) distilling the organic aniline phase from step b), obtaining a flow of purified aniline, a gaseous flow that boils at a lower temperature than aniline and containing organic impurities, and a liquid flow that boils at a higher temperature than aniline and containing organic impurities and aniline.
